Parent Browser Safety Extension
What a parent browser extension should track, hide, ignore, export, and never upload by default.
A parent browser safety extension should not be a silent surveillance machine. It should give parents enough signal to intervene calmly while keeping the child's dignity and privacy intact.
The right default is local-first: classify visible text in the browser, store scores and categories locally, avoid full browsing-history uploads, and let parents export a report only when they choose.
The best product loop is item-level: hide risky posts, ignore acceptable posts, review the queue, tune the model, and turn repeated patterns into family rules.
Parent Checklist
- Run classification locally where possible.
- Track risk category, score, reason, domain, and timestamp.
- Keep snippets off by default and redact them when enabled.
- Provide hidden and ignored queues so parents can review decisions.
- Export a parent report as a conversation aid, not as a punishment file.
What to Say
This tool is here to help us notice patterns, not to catch you out.
If it hides something harmless, we can mark it ignored and improve the rules.
The goal is fewer unsafe loops and better conversations.
